Our little lady Lettie turned two months old last week. My heart may break at the sweetness. She is an expressive little gal... it's not hard to guess how she's feeling at any one moment. She gives out recklessly adorable smiles in abundance, but also has the sweetest "I'm just taking this all in" face. She gained two pounds and two inches since birth, so apparently we're doing just grand in the feeding department.
We also had one night where she slept through the night(!) That night, I woke up at 3 am and just stared at her, making sure she was breathing and such. We haven't had any repeats of that night, but she does tend to have at least one long stretch at night... now if I could just condition myself to going to sleep at 8 when she does... but then I probably wouldn't have a business... or a home you could even remotely see the floor of (that is still questionable some days).
Quiet is much harder to come by these days. I never thought of Anni as loud until I tried to keep her quiet around the baby. I'm so grateful for the quiet moments with this babe. It's been really wonderful to have those peaceful snatches of time to reflect on the beauty of my little ones and motherhood. I try to reach back and borrow peace from that reserve when everyone is crying (including myself) and it feels like I'll never be caught up (probably true).
Happy two months, sweet little Lettie! You are loved!
She is just TOO cute! And yes... Joe's volume has increased greatly since Sam was born. Oy...
